## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Informative, but Not an Attention Grabber
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2016*

For myself, the first third of this book is not particularly interesting.  It is the telling of a story that happened in St. Louis, of a man shooting another man over a dispute.  After that, the book gets more interesting.  It starts to delve into the variations of this story, and how it spread over time and place.  Stagolee Shot Billy traces the changes of the main characters, and shows how people changed it to fit their circumstances.  The main character changes from black to white, and bad to good.  There are example of this story in song, and sometimes the character changes to a point that only the murder is consistent.Over all, I would not recommend this book to someone who is looking for a good story.  If you are looking for something informative, or are interested in learning how stories spread and change in time, then this book is for you.  Or if you are just interested in some St. Louis history, this would work.  It is required reading for a class I am taking.

    The legend...finally researched
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 28, 2013*

The story of Stagolee (aka Stack O'Lee; Stagger Lee) has been told many times in song by artists as diverse as Doc Watson, Fats Domino, Lloyd Price and Bill Haley; and seemed to resurface anew in the early 70s as Jim Croce's "Leroy Brown". Author Cecil Brown has written a wonderfully researched story about this mercurial folk-villian, delving into the official archival news records of the time to track down the actual confrontation between a Lee Shelton and Billy Lyons, resulting in the shooting death that gave birth to the legend and the song, similar perhaps to the manner of events that gave birth to the equallly legendary "Wreck Of The Old 97".This book is a very intriguing story, telling the story of both characters, the conditions of the town they lived in for this particular period in history--the late 1800s, and not that long after the Civil War had ended.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Great scholarly book. Kindle version notes are not linked; impossible to use as a scholar.
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2020*

This review is only for the Kindle version itself, not the book. The book is great. Love the scholarship, the thorough history, the details the author brings to light.The Kindle version renders the scholarship almost completely unusable. The notes aren't linked, so to follow anything up is impossible.Takeaway: The Kindle version is completely useless for scholarship, despite the book itself being a model of scholarship.
